vic 1996 R33 Skyline GTST with fruit
Kinkstaah replied to gmr's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Likely cause the car was never driven on the road and it was only towed to a drift event and a motokhana, its use was primarily for the track as Alex has too much money. ? -
Wheels r34 gtt, 17 inch front, 18 inch rear
Kinkstaah replied to N/A34 phil's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Would it? if the width of the tyres is the same I don't think going from say a 265/35/17 to a 265/35/18 will affect much other than looking "odd" -
Also splitfires will more than handle that kind of power. I am a big advocate of the responsive 280-320kw being the peak happiness per $ spent driving mark for any R chassis skyline. It's a lot to ask from any 2.5-2.8l turbo engine if you want to ask it for a lot.

GTX3076 is a pretty solid choice for a turbo. It's not the worlds best, but it's far from bad in the grand scheme of things. It can certainly generate enough power to destroy your motor. Skyline builds really fall into two categories, one being your ~250-350kw mark where a) Clutches last longer, easy to drive b) Rear grip is plausible c) Lag is not too bad d) Single fuel pumps work on E85 or Gasoline e) Can arguably get away with stock manifolds, low mounting, stockish type looks f) Stock engine internals last longer (not forever) Going above that means points a to f and likely many I have forgotten need to be addressed "addressing" these means you advance the weak point to whichever problem you addressed least. It is rarely more expensive at that point to aim at 500KW instead of 351KW and ends up being a "replace everything" type of thing. There is no setup that will work at 550kw that will work at 250-300kw unless it is a 550kw setup that has been turned down massively which is going to be sub optimal anyway as the turbo choice needs to be suited to your intended power. The smartest thing anyone can ever do is make an informed decision about what they want, and stay on target. Everything else is going to make you sad and broke.

The above information is very good, just keep in mind the wiring of the Walbro requires some love. Nothing crazy, plenty of people have done it without issues, but it's not as simple as "just connect to stock wiring" which lower pumps may be. I don't know if the DW340 is in that category either, but it is something to keep in mind. Turbo choice is critical for a turbo car (duh). Clutch and Gates and setup may/may not be something to keep in mind depending on how future proof you want your goal to be, i.e 300-400hp on the way to 700. It is exponentially better to go for the end goal from day one. It is also exponentially better/cheaper/more fun for your $ for that target to be the 400hp one instead of the 700hp one. I am yet to hear of anyone ever regretting upgrading an ECU. Link G4+ or a Haltech Elite, if you can get something that is plug in you will be doing yourself a massive, massive, massive, massive favour.

series 1 front bar on series 2 r34?
Kinkstaah replied to Damien34gt's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
You will need the series 1 headlight supports (the black things that go/bolt onto the main reo bar) You can re-use the main reo bar, but you need the black headlight supports on each side to fit the front bar. You will also need the series 1 headlight plates that bolt to the top of the front bumper. The S2 ones are taller as there's a space for the grill in the S2 bar. -
They absolutely do fit - They also are the same part for the 33 and S15 - they all have the same part number. If you want to confim check with kudos motorsports or someone selling them/getting them from Japan etc. I am only 99% sure but I recall all the plastic tanks are the same part, as I have swapped them before.

R32 GTR EFR 7670 Build
Kinkstaah replied to Dievos's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
I made similar power on 98 with this turbo, its bigger than most people think it is. -
Or the Govt. The amount of hassle involved in having 1 (one) standard (emphasis on standard) drink and then immediately being forced to go home. We're talking hours and hours of meetings and negotiation here, to move it from 0 to 1, it was previously going back a few years something like 4-5. At least this is where your taxes aren't going ?

Selling my 96 r33 gtst and buy a 1995 rx7 fd3s
Kinkstaah replied to heion83's topic in General Automotive Discussion
I legitimately think a R33 GTST looks better than a RX7. -
I have never, ever, EVER heard of ANYONE EVER Leaving IT and regretting doing so. Source: Been in IT since 2000, asking 100% of colleagues who have left IT.

R34 GT-Four questions...
Kinkstaah replied to R34GTRSilver's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
The info on them is shaky at best unfortunately as they really arent that popular a build for reasons I'm not too sure on either. The AWD 25neo from stagea into a GT-Four is a sure fire winning combo, though I would expect (just hunches) that you will find several things that are NA-spec and not GTR spec. If you must assume, assume NA but definitely the way to go is to examine the thing thoroughly before you decide to tinker with it. A lot of the things that people say are the same, aren't with R34's, Series 1 vs Series 2 differences in parts that "are the same and have the same part number" see also: NA vs GTT parts. Hope for the best (yay GTR spec things) but plan for them not to be, and DEFINITELY budget for them not to be, to be safe. But if you get your hands on the car and start looking, you're likely to be the most knowledgeable guy around about them lol -
There's a big thread on them - I bought and used and then sold an ARD 150amp alternator and it works exactly as it should, and bolts directly in, 100%, no dramas whatsoever in any way. 10/10 would use again except I... am doing a LS engine conversion so lol. ARD150 definitely better than the OEM 80 one.

R34/R33/S14/S15 Hardrace front castor arms. For when you want so much castor you give no more f***s about your inner guard linings and want as much caster as possible without it moving around over a bump.Removed because I sadly do care about my inner guard liners and need no such caster now, Work absolutely perfectly. Has marks and scratches as seen as you'd expect from used suspension components and I can't fathom the buyer who buys aftermarket suspension items and wants them to look unused or doesn't plan on using them...Will ship, prefer local however if plausible. $200

Feels tune-y. But nothing should have changed after replacing a fuel tank.

What tyres? None, there's no way they're fitting on a stock guarded R34 GTT. None. NONE. Mount the rim once, laugh, and put up for sale.
-
Actualy I have to admit that, as much as I wanted to hang s*** on the Commodores or Falcons, if they got surprised by a 450kw auto 4 door sedan there were ALWAYS massive thumbs up out the sides of windows and such, on the rare occasion this occured on a private road etc. But yeah, Prinny is literally made for XR6T's. What?
-
Can confirm living in Glen Waverley, hondas and other P plate cars (86's oh god 86's everywhere) still around droning everywhere which makes me happy. You'd have to expect HWY to be dominated by XR6T's, I mean think about it it's a cheap readily available 4L turbo which is pretty terrible at anything that isn't pulls from 80kmh. Not going to find one of them at the top of a mountain of your choice.

I may actually be interested in the harness if no one else is, the one I have has to be entirely unwound to fit through the slots in my current seats, which is a slight bit annoying as I don't see myself changing my seats to fit the harness I currently have.
-
I don't know this, honestly - But is there any data on just how often 90's Nissans or corollas or whatever else is considered "reliable" and how often they were recalled/fixed under warranty etc? It may very well have changed, but just going through daily society in the office carpark I see many euros, and the opinions of people who own them don't exactly scream "I wish I didn't buy this euro" or "I'll never do that again" etc.
-
Are there actually any real horror stories regarding modernish Euros anyway? They all seem to be motoring along, at least at the same rate as any other car their age. I mean my little french baguette is honestly easier to work on than the R34 is and everything seems in pretty good nick for its relative age. At least nothing obviously out of the ordinary. Given they all have german electrics now, I'd wager your golf/polo/whatever is likely similar.
-
Why not a golf/polo exactly? Do you not want an answer to your question lol Sometimes things are popular because actually good/fit for purpose
-
Megane or Clio will beat all of the above. But cause car racist, get a polo GTI, the older manual only ones. Cheap, clean, nice, worse than a Megane in every way (cross shopped both) but perfectly OK for daily duties. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Volkswagen-Polo-2006/SSE-AD-5563666/?Cr=4 Comes pre-modded for your enjoyment. Technically not a golf.
